Evening All. Good, you’re all still here, no hunting for a new kitchen tonight.
Oh dear greyd, these things are certainly meant to try us. Still, good there’s nothing awry. My Dexa scan was a doddle by comparison, a nice lie down, fully clothed, and a pleasant scanning person to chat to. In the hospital for less than 30 minutes, how lucky was that?
It’s infuriating when a meal out is disappointing ann, still good company and a glass of wine makes two out of three positives. Not bad. 
.
Welcome back mamissimo, hope the donuts keep for elevenses tomorrow. I do enjoy a donut, as my waistline will testify.
It’s been a funny old day here, just the odd shower but oh so grey. Not a sign of brightness. I’ve been straining what’s left of my brain trying to work out what to feed extra mouths on Friday. Family I see rarely who are excellent cooks. Oh dear, getting ever so slightly panicky now although I keep reminding myself it’s lunch not a state banquet. 
.
TOYA, be good everyone.
Greyduster thank you for the heads up about Wentworth Castle gardens, I called yesterday on the way from Harrogate to Glossop. I have been before but it was a lovely stop on my journey. Sadly I didn’t have my camera so no photos of the baby deer. Also the lanyard holding the info cards rubbed my top which is now destined for the bin!
Ann having spent 24 hours in your neck of the woods the only use of a bucket is to catch the rain! Hope you have some sunshine now.
Was in Manchester this morning. DGS was taking part in the school concert with the Halle at Bridgewater Hall. So much fun and hopefully inspiring for the 10 year olds playing. Drove home to proper June weather and did a bit of gardening.
Welcome Carillion, the kitchen is the seat of kindness and care, not to mention cake. I don’t post much but try to keep up.
Thinking of you all (TOYA) .
Hello! You lot still here? I expected to find a nice new kitchen by now. I have had an interesting day - not! DH said he fancied a day out, so I said “Why don’t we go to that nice private hospital? I fancy a colonoscopy! And you can get free hot chocolate and coffee while you wait for me!” So we did. It was on the NHS of course, and as we had to wait an hour beyond our appointment time DH was wondering if the NHS’s cheque had bounced! It’s not the most fun you can have with your clothes off, but at least I got a clean bill of health, which made all the fasting and, er, other stuff almost worth it!
Welcome Carillion, you new Kitchener! Hello and goodbye really until we open a new kitchen. I like any cake, by the way; not fussy me!
Kitty my DH doesn’t always hear all the beeping flashing things that go off in our car either! I sometimes think we are living on borrowed time in car parks. Or it’s “Why is it making that noise?” “Because you’re nearly in the back seat of the car in front, beloved! Drop back a bit!”
Ann I hope you have put the bucket away and your head is held high, which is where it should be!
That’s all from me for now - I think I need to find a cushion to sit on! I will wish you a pleasant evening.
carillion, we maybe should warn you that this kitchen will close when the number of posts reaches 1000.
Someone (usually soop who opened the first kitchen as a place of kindness and support) will open a new one. They usually leave empty wine bottles and cake crumbs as a trail for the rest of us to follow.
soop is away gallivanting in the Highlands so someone else will.
I dont know whether anyone mentioned that is customary for newbies to bring lots of cake on their first visit! Just saying!
Ann as maw said, it's good not to have to cook but disappointing when you could have done better. Still, you got out and had good company!
And 
Topsy, I think the latest plan is for DD3 to get married at the top of the Eiffel Tower but they won't need your parlezing services as it's in Las Vegas!! I'm sad they haven't opted for the gondola option or even a drive through!
Isn’t it disappointing Annsixty ?
I always hope for, indeed, expect better than I could produce at home and do feel let down when the meal,falls short.
However, it is the company that matters (and having it all cooked by somebody else) and a glass of wine helps too!
I am so glad you are getting out and picking up the pieces of your life 
This was obviously my fault corner as I suggested that car park rather than his preferred one on the other side of town.
And breathe kitty. Reminds me of the time Mr C managed to run into the back of the car in front while collecting a birthday cake for me. Guess whose fault it was? Pleased the troublesome tooth will trouble you no more.
No need for the bucket ann . I’m trying hard to emulate your ability to sustain relationships after a marriage ends. Not sure I’m succeeding which makes me sad.
Hello carillion, welcome. You’re a brave soul moving to a new country, just being in a new town has had its moments in cornerland.
Lovely rose greyd, our climber looks better for some tidying. Still no sun here, where’s it gone?
I’m supposed to be cleaning. Seem to prefer sitting this morning. Oh well, best get on, this wont get the baby a new bonnet as my Mum was fond of saying
TOYA and be good everyone.
Welcome, carillion. My friend is our town Carillonneur (sp?)
I refuse to be friends with DD3's ex but I do think it's a great thing to do if you can manage it. Mind you, I didnt like him when they were married. I was messaging my brother about him using my own personal name for him. My phone didnt like it and changed it to Arsenal!
Lovely photos gd. Our garden is very green but with not much in the way of colourful flowers.
I had my troublesome tooth out yesterday with no pain at all. The same cannot be said for DH's parking yesterday which resulted in a lovely yellow stripe down my car. He didnt hear the beeping of the sensors even when they reached panic mode as he was thinking about something else. 
Who has the leg of lamb?
